Great! Man, this jacket could've been made out of Horween FQHH. Looks pretty much the same.

I kind of liked Hairspray and Cry-Baby, but Pink Flamingos had little redeeming value. Had Divine... taken the script a little less seriously, so to put it, a lot less people would be talking about this film, I think.

I still remember watching the film at uni, then it hit 'that' scene with Divine right at the end and thinking: 'Right, well, that's 90 minutes of my life I'm not getting back'. I do like John Walters, he makes me laugh whenever I see or hear him. He's like a really disreputable David Sedaris, who is one of my favourite essayists.

There are those who sniff at Hairspray, particularly the musical redux (granted, Travolta was weak - if only Fiernstein had agreed to take the role! Though Walken was a revelation playing so far against type....), but, I ask you.... where else in the mainstream do you see the fat kid and the drag queen getting the best roles??

Cry Baby is a work of genius. It's simply the film Elvis should have made.... It was supposed to be coming to the stage in the wake of Hairspray's success, but I gather it was held up as they wante to use the same songs, and gettnig the rights was proving a nightmare....

I still want John Waters to write a road-trip film starring himself and Steve Buscemi as father and son....

Jeff Goldbloom, perhaps a 'fashion' jacket, belt missing

I'm scratching my head here
"perfect jacket" being a lambskin motorcyle jacket, with a fake stitching accent shoulder padding
oh and on another video he talked about custom raw denim with rayskin-patch and bullet case rivets

what kind of clown wearing that gimmick jeans...

I think all these self proclaimed fashion gurus are fake prophets leading their sheep into damnation

Ha! Nicely put. You're the Deodat Lawson of leather jacketdom.

There are those whose reverence of style is rooted in means to achieve an end; to create a look to serve a purpose, catering to the inescapable desire to use fashion to self-elevate and validate, whilst a silent minority, namely the FL crowd, value style and fashion for the virtues embodied on style's own merit, focusing more on reverence of the product and cordiality with like-minded enthusiasts than reverence of one's self and place on the social hierarchy of fashion norms.

I could never had said it better! Truth is that it's not others' opinion of me that I am seeking, just instead to wear something I treasure, and enjoy it with other like-minded folks. Nick, very well stated and keep it up!

Never really looked at this image before, I always thought Brando's hat was pale blue. Must have been a hand coloured B/W print. Also the bike! A vintage Guzzi

I think that was for PPpromo shots; in the film, he rides a customised Triumph Thunderbird.

Off screen, in 1970, Brando bought himself an flh Electroglide.. .

I've run across several colour photos and the cap is always that tan colour, and the rest of the colouring is consistent too. I don't think all caps of the time would have been blue. I'm beginning to think he might have worn more than one jacket - perhaps a comparison of photos and the hand-painted "Johnny" letting might reveal something, ha ha

I own several Lost Worlds. Great jackets. Speed Demon style not recommended over a much more versatile cafe racer (Lost Worlds Easy Ryder in 3 oz horse-since you live in Florida) or a multi purpose classic like the Suburban, again in 3 oz, nothing heavier for day to day wear.
Cafe Racer (many top manufacturers) or a Lost Worlds Suburban would do.
